I was just playing around with Microsoft Word 2007 as a blog editing tool. Get this — it’s actually pretty good. Very smooth, very simple.
Yes, at work we've been using Word 2007 to publish posts to our Drupal-based Intranet (via Drupal's BlogAPI). Took me a few brain cells though to figure out how best to place images from Word 2007 onto the server though. I just hope Microsoft keeps the feature around in future versions of Word.
I hope the generated HTML is better than it used to be in previous Office versions when doing "Save As... HTML." Endless unreadable nestings of pointless MS-specific custom tags.
I've been using Microsoft's Live Writer for a while to post to WordPress. Pretty easy and simple.
